Definition

ALCMS

Acronym for Airfield Lighting Control Monitoring System. An ALCMS

incorporates many components that are used to control and monitor an

airport’s entire airfield lighting system. The ALCMS may include Touch

Screens for lighting control, Maintenance Center(s) for data viewing and

archiving, Electrical Lighting equipment for CCR control and monitoring.

CCR

Abbreviation for Constant Current Regulator. The CCRs are located

within the Airfield Lighting Vault (ALV). They produce a constant

current output to the airfield series circuit that light the airfield lighting

fixtures.

AGLAS

ADB Airfield Solutions’ trademarked abbreviation for Airfield Ground

Lighting Automation System which is a term that describes the

technology used to transmit and receive data across airfield lighting

series circuit cabling.

Remote

Unit installed in the airfield (normally in pull-pits or base cans) which

provides control and monitoring of individual or blocks of light fixtures.

Each Remote has its own unique address for control and monitoring

data communication to the Master.

Master

Unit installed within the lighting vault that provides the means for data

communication on the airfield series circuit cables. The Master is

connected in parallel (across) to the output of the CCR. Each series

circuit that contains Remotes must also have a Master installed at the

CCR.

Control Panel

This term is used to reference the device used to control and monitor

the controllable stopbars and the associated lighting equipment. The

control panel could be either an L-821 style pushbutton panel or a

Touchscreen style control panel. The control panel is located in the Air

Traffic Control Tower cab.

SMGCS

Acronym which means Surface Movement Guidance and Control

System. SMGCS is an organized system created to improve and

enhance low visibility operations.
